      New iLink Architecture in 2014

      In 2014, CME Group will launch a new iLink architecture with design and network enhancements. The new architecture is designed to:

      • Extend First In, First Out (FIFO) message handling from the trading engine to the order entry gateway
      • Reduce variability
      • Harden risk management for order entry bursts 

      Details on the new iLink Architecture roadmap can be found online. For an overview of the new iLink architecture, please review the iLink Architecture webinar.

      Market Segment Gateways will be available for all markets in the 2nd half of 2014.

      Changes to MexDer Risk Control Gateway

      The MexDer Risk Control Gateway changes have been postponed. The previous risk settings will remain in place.

      A new launch date will be published in the CME Globex Notices when available.

      In order to support upcoming enhancements, the MexDer, Mercado Mexicano de Derivados Risk Management Gateway (RMG) will reduce the number of risk filters from ten to three for North- to- South order routing customers. The Risk Management Gateway (RMG) is a tool that provides pre-trade risk management which allows clearing firm Risk Administrators to set credit limits. The following risk filters will continue to be available via RMG:

      • Quantity
      • Quantity per Class and Side
      • Daily Quantity

      With this change, an Execution Report - Reject (tag 35-MsgType=8, tag 39-OrdStatus=8) message will be generated in the event that an order fails a risk check. Currently, an Acknowledgement Message (tag 35-MsgType=8, tag 39-OrdStatus=0), then a Reject (tag 35-MsgType=8, tag 39-OrdStatus=8) message will be generated in the event that an order fails a risk check.

      This change is currently available for customer testing in New Release.

      Additional details on upcoming enhancements to RMG risk filters will be published in the CME Globex Notices.

      Please contact MexDer for more information on the RMG.

      iLink and Drop Copy Enhancements for MDP 3.0 Trade Summary Message

      Effective with the production launch of MDP 3.0, iLink will introduce opt-in functionality for displaying tag 37-OrderID in the MDP 3.0 trade summary message (tag 35-MsgType=X). Tag 37 is the anonymous, CME Globex-assigned order identifier.

      Customers may choose to opt-in their orders using the FPL-defined FIX tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity. The Trade Summary message, which announces the trade to the marketplace, will include tag 37 values for orders where tag 1091=N. Tag 37 values will be published on market data for trades only.

      Drop Copy will also support the new tag 1091 at launch.

      The new iLink tag 1091 can be submitted on the following messages:

      • New Order (tag 35-MsgType=D)
      • Order Cancel/Replace Request(tag 35-MsgType=G)
      • New Order Cross (tag 35-MsgType=s)
      • Mass Quote (tag 35-MsgType=i)

      Tag 1091 will be returned on the following iLink messages only when a valid value is sent on the originating message:

      • Execution Report: Order Creation or Modify (tag 35-MsgType=8, OrdStatus=0 or 5)
      • Execution Report: Order Cancel(tag 35-MsgType=8, OrdStatus=4)
      • Execution Report: Fill Notice (tag 35-MsgType=8, tag 39-OrdStatus=1 or 2)
        • only for spreads and outrights
      • Execution Report: Order Elimination (tag 35-MsgType=8, tag 39-OrdStatus=4 or C)
      • Execution Report: Reject (tag 35-MsgType=8, tag 39-OrdStatus=8)
      • Execution Report: Trade Cancel (tag 35-MsgType=8, tag 39-OrdStatus=H)
        • only for outrights
      • Order Cancel/Replace Reject (tag 35-MsgType=9, tag 434-CancelRejResponseTo=2)
      • Quote Acknowledgement (tag 35-MsgType=b)

      tag 1091-PreTradeAnonymity
      Tag FIX Name Req Valid Values Format Description
      1091 PreTradeAnonymity N Y
      N      		 Boolean (1) Defines whether the tag 37-OrderID will be included in the Trade Summary message in MDP 3.0.
      If tag is not sent or sent with “Y”, tag 37 value will not appear in the Trade Summary message.
      If tag is sent with “N”, tag 37 will appear in the Trade Summary message.

      If the tag 1091 value exceeds the max length of 1 byte, New Orders and Order Cancel/Replace Requests will be rejected with a Session Level Reject (35=3) and Mass Quotes and New Order Cross will be rejected with a Business Level Reject message (35=j) with tag 380-BusinessRejectReason = 0. Any invalid value will be ignored and the tag 37 will not be displayed in the Trade Summary message.

      Current iLink message specifications are available online.

      Certification is not required for iLink and Drop Copy customers who wish to use the new opt-in tag 1091. All customers are required to certify for and migrate to the new MDP 3.0 market data.

      Tag 1091 will be available in New Release for customer testing on Monday, June 30.
